Laid off as company shrinks and outsources

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

For years, Renaissance was a stable happy job. Benefits were good, work life balance were good.

Cons

We became hyper focused on hitting metrics. Pointing became a performance metric and no longer reflected real world work. Eventually layoffs started and I survived 2 waves before the third took me. Learned afterwards that Renaissance began outsourcing work overseas more or less right after.
